Bulk Waste
Verge Valet™ accepts most items for collection. Generally, things that the Verge Valet Collection Team cannot collect are listed in the right column below. These items will be left behind if put out for collection, and a non-conformance notice will be issued – this is for the safety of our team.
Each collection must be no more than 3m3 (3m x 1m x 1m). Items must be less than 1.5m in length to be easily picked up and put into the collection truck. We understand this may not be possible for bulky furniture items.
Accepted items: Items NOT ACCEPTED: Air conditioners NO asbestos products BBQ’s (not gas bottles) NO batteries Bicycles NO building materials (brick, rubble, concrete etc.) Bulk polystyrene NO car oil & fuel Bulky toys NO food E-waste (TVs, computers, accessories) NO glass panels (tables, mirrors & window panes) Fencing (timber & steel only) NO hazardous materials (flammable, toxic or corrosive liquids) Floor coverings (linoleum, carpet) NO paint Fridges/freezers (doors removed) NO dirt, garden waste, soil, sand & mulch Garden hoses NO tyres General junk NO vehicles, car bodies, car parts Household furniture (no glass) How much can I put out per collection?

Please read and adhere to the set out instructions below to ensure your collection goes smoothly* (we promise it’s not hard).

You can take bulk waste items to the Fremantle Recycling Centre – 6 free visits per financial year per residential property.
OR
You can use Verge Valet Extra!
Verge Valet Extra is a pre-paid collection service available to properties that have used all the available allocations and to community groups . This is essentially a private collection service agreement between you and the Verge Valet Collection Team that uses the same size limit, accepted items list and set out instructions as Verge Valet™. To book a Verge Valet Extra collection, proceed through to the Booking Request Form and select the ‘Verge Valet Extra’ box on the final page to enter your card details.
Prices for these are as follows (inc GST):
Bulk waste: $200.00
Mattress: $85.00
Please contact the Verge Valet Collection Team directly to talk about Verge Valet Extra, on 6336 7223.
